WIP Wednesday: Inching Forward with a Little Progress

Last week I had a question for Leah Day regarding a walking foot, since mine seemed to plow more than walk. Leah said there should be a pressure dial on my machine. After much searching, through no help from the owners manual, I found the pressure foot pressure adjustment. After reducing the pressure, I was able to get all of the blocks and three out of five of the rows together on my storybook quilt.

Since these blocks are already quilted, it's becoming quite heavy

I'm pleased with how well my blocks are lining up.

I also worked on my Quokka Quilts QAYGFMQQAL blocks. Since my quilt has an extra block on each row, I'm now two blocks shy of having the first three rows complete. I like what I have so far.

And finally this week I worked on piecing a back for my Expanding Possibilities quilt. I thought it would be the perfect quilt to work on for this month's Sew Cal Gal FMQ Challenge.
